But it does kind of make sense, and it's not even an original joke. Hell, you could argue that Captain America was partially inspired by the same sort of character flaws that you said make people take steroids in volunteering for the program. Especially in the pre-movie versions.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Yeah, annoyingly they're generally the ones I remember (or arguably experience, I'm not convinced I dream normally).
Plus I really, really need to get a snazzy avatar. How can I expect to be as famous as you while I'm stuck with a stock model
Well I just spent about two hours screaming at a laptop at least the better part of a decade old, I think it's safe to say that I need a new machine.

Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

2D8HP. May I also add that being famous in a forum means that you need to more post more threads that people find it interesting. Having an avatar won't make you famous, no matter how cool your avatar is. It will gain little to no effect to attract people attention. Just a helpful advice that I want to bring it up.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
It is a very good way of attracting people if you are a good avatarist and made it yourself. When I see really cool avatars, I tend to look at the signature to see who made it, and if it's self-made, I tend to remember the avatarist. I've still got a bunch of good avatarists floating around in my head, even though they haven't been active for years.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Yeah, main reason I don't have a custom Avatar is because I'm really bad at making them (I did try, although the picture died with my old laptop) and too proud to ask my brother to make me one.
Honestly the main reason I want a custom Avatar is because it'll make my posts easier to pick out when I'm scrolling through a thread looking at something I posted months to years ago. I also remember a few posters here by their Avatars, I came to associate the standard RangerGuy one with 2D8HP before he got a custom Ranger.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Random question: are you ever embarrassed to have expensive or fancy stuff out where people can see it? I always feel like I have to justify where I got it because otherwise I feel like I'm showing off my money. (Usually I really didn't spend that much, I just have a good eye for getting nice stuff for cheap.)

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Furniture?
Nope.
But I seldom have visitors.
The closest I get is I dressing "down" outside.
I'm actually very comfortable in suits and "button up" shirts, but I find that random strangers ask me for money even more than usual so I dress in jeans and "hoodies" outside, as does my wife even though she has some nice dresses (we look like we're in uniform!).
We just find we get hassled less if we look worse and are less comfortable in stupid "casual" clothesn

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
Not really, but I can certainly see why that might be the case.
Personally, I refuse to worry about it because it's my place, dagnabbit, and presumably if I'm comfortable bringing someone into it they know me well enough already not to think that.
Plus, if I did that, I wouldn't be able to display much of anything. I'm of the camp that would much rather have a small number of things that I'm very happy with, than a wide variety of things I'm only somewhat happy with.
I don't have a lot of money, by any standard (except sustenance-level societies, I guess), so it takes me a while to save up for anything I want to buy. If I want to get something, then, it stands to reason it's pretty important to me, and it's worth spending the extra time researching and saving to get what I'll be happiest with.
If that means my place ends up sparsely decorated, but with very attractive items, then so be it.

Re: 2D8HP's extended mea culpa and Random Banter #218
I have discovered that when I'm a relatively healthy weight I just outright prefer wearing shirts, and I prefer the hang of formal trousers compared to almost anything else. When I'm the weight I currently am (i.e. morbidly obese) I can look weird when I don't dress up, tending to wear formal trousers with casual t-shirts (although next time I go clothes shopping I'm buying a set of shirts, fat or not).
As a side note, because despite being obese I'm a) rather fit and b) thinner than your average person my age I've had a lot of trouble convincing people I am fat, and even those that can see it seem to think I must be sensitive about it (bah! I'm not exactly unfit and there are potential romantic partners who like fat men, why should I care?).
